Scientists Discovered Planets Even Better For Life Than Earth

hello I'm tedia welcome to my channel scientists discovered planets even better for life than Earth out of all the planets in the universe Earth is clearly the best for life right wrong Earth may be great but scientists have discovered a few worlds that could be even better for Life behold koi 5,7 15.01 most of the contenders on our superhabitable planet list aren't the ones you could visit anytime soon they are very far away the top spot is held by 13,000 light years away from our solar system koi but it would also check off many boxes to be considered superhabitable the planetary system it belongs to could be about 5.5 billion years old which would make it around 1 billion years older than our own solar system and the planet would almost fit the size requirement when looking for superhabitable worlds scientists keep their eyes peeled for planets that have a mass up to 1.5 times that of our planet and they should be about 10% larger too this size difference would help the planet retain heat and if its average temperature was about 5° C 8° Fahrenheit higher than Earth's this exoplanet could have even richer biodiversity well being almost double the size of Earth koi with the right atmospheric composition a strong greenhouse effect could raise temperatures to the desired level and as far as the superhabitable worlds go we're just getting started approximately 2,700 light years away would be Kepler 69c this super Earth could be around 7 billion years old this puts it perfectly in the estimated 5 to 8 billion age range for superhabitable planets this range is based on the three 3.5 billion years it took for complex life to appear on Earth so the best chance for finding life could be on a planet a little older than us only this exoplanet could be a little too big to be super habitable it has a mass almost four times that of Earth a rocky planet this big could have a single colossal continent that would have huge deserts in its Center but the coastline Washed by Kepler's ocean could be your perfect spot to move to our next Super Earth shares a similar name Kepler 1126b except it would be located ever so slightly closer to home this planet is about 273 light years away and belongs to a system that is 7.5 billion years old it also orbits a yellow dwarf star much like our own only Kepler 1126b is 2.5 times closer to its star than Earth is to the Sun but that's no big deal because the star Kepler 1126b orbits is cooler than ours so the habitable zone would exist in a Range much closer in proximity to it if you aren't feeling this nearness to a scorching hot star there's another Super Earth on our list and it's at a reasonable distance from home speculo 2C is located only6 light years away not that its proximity gives it any kind of advantage it would still take you well over 200,000 years to travel to this super Earth and that's if you moved at the speed of NASA's Parker solar probe the fastest probe ever launched speculo 2C does look promising though it's part of a system that is about 7 billion years old it's about 40% larger than there's also potential for it being a rocky planet just like ours despite the fact that it also exists in a habitable zone it's dwarf star is still very small it's only about 15% the size of our sun so this planet orbits around the star at a very close distance this close distance could mean that speculo 2C is tily locked to its star this super Earth takes 8.5 days to make one full rotation on its axis as well as one orbit around its star that would leave one side of the planet in constant daylight with the other in Endless Night all this means that life could be possible in The Terminator Zone the thin strip of land between these two sides we just need to get a better look to find out for sure but with all these candidates so far away wouldn't it be nicer if the planets in our own solar system were a little more habitable thank you for watching my video please like And subscribe
